The AArch64 part looks fine to me, but a paragraph introducing what is
meant by AArch64 ("the 64-bit execution state introduced in the ARMv8-A
architecture profile" - or similar) would be a useful addition. Just
sending our users straight to the full repository of information provided
by ARM may give them too wide a set of readings :).
